I want my weekend back...

[mousme]

First off, may I ask anyone in the way of hurricane Katrina to get the hell away as much as you possibly can? Not having a television means I haven't seen any of the footage, but I remember Hugo from when I was small (about 10 years old), and if this is worse, then dear God above, I don't know what to say.


That being said, I am wiped out. Exhausted. Burnt. Toast.

Needless to say, my club will not be getting me to volunteer for more than one day a week ever again. Three days in a row, for a total of twenty one hours, is NOT my idea of fun. In fact, that's a second job. If I'm going to be working a second job, I'd like to get paid, plsthx!

I'm taking all of next weekend away from the club. I need the break, else I'll end up hating it. I realize they're short of volunteers, but I refuse to make myself into a martyr for the cause. I realized this weekend that I was falling back into old habits, not saying "no" when I needed to, etc. By the time last night rolled around I was so overtired I couldn't think straight, and I went and collapsed on my mother's sofa until about 10 pm. Completely out of spoons. Recouped a couple overnight, but not nearly enough. I predict an early night in my near future.

Have many things planned for this week, mostly next weekend. I'm going to be visiting looking4wings, and seeing a movie with luvenditti, and then Monday I'm going to give this place a thorough cleaning. It hasn't had a really good going-over in a few months, and I think it couldn't hurt at this point.

Guh. I don't feel like going to work. Too tired. With any luck there won't be any major rushes, and I'll simply be able to finish my filing, which is backed up about three or four weeks. I got some of it done last week, but this is not really a one-day job. I mostly need to be left alone at the office for two or three days to be able to catch up properly with the filing. Not like that's going to happen anytime soon, but a girl can dream, right?

In other news, I've decided that I'm definitely not going to be living the same life by the time I turn thirty. That means I have a little under three and a half years to change my life. I think that's doable. After all, Looking back one year, I was already starting a major change in the way I live. I think I may write a post about that later today if I have time.

Okay. Off to work.

...I couldn't think straight,...

Heee.
Okay, it is because I'm on almost no sleep at all that this amused me.
Sorry, I'll shut up now.
